Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire that had been modified through previous validity and reliability tests regarding family readiness and home security in dealing with emergencies at home. Research data was analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. The research results show that family preparedness is related to the risk of emergencies with a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient interval for family readiness in predicting the risk of emergencies has a strong relationship level, namely 0.688 or 68%, this means that families who are prepared have a minimum risk in dealing with emergency conditions within the household.
